Sponsoring Closing Party

We started as a team of technologists helping companies to solve complex problems. Our love of all things technology didn't stop there — in our spare time, we were building robots, creating developer events (JSConf, RobotsConf, NodeBots, etc.), and helping kids. At the same time, our clients started voicing concerns over the challenges of the fast-evolving, high-tech 21st-century work environment - and the need for a workforce that could keep pace. So the idea was born: emerging technology consulting with fascinating education, and help build or re-inspire the pipeline of talent that companies need, while giving individuals the drive and skills to succeed.
